Bazı kitaplar okurken o kadar sıkıyor ki, bir an önce bitsin diyor insan. Ama bıraktığı güçlü etki uzunca bir süre ağır bir palto gibi üstüne de oturuyor. Sanırım bu kitap da benim için öyle olacak.

Ağır ağır akıp hızlıca okumaya izin vermediğinden bir süre sonra tüm karakterler tanıdık bir simaya dönüşüyor zihinde. Kitap bitiyor ama onlara sonrasında ne olmuş olabileceği, zihinde yarattığı devam senaryolarıyla ara ara kendini hatırlatıyor. Belki de iyi bir kitabın hissettirmesi gerekenler bunlardır, kimbilir.

Kimler beğenebilir bu kitabı?
Kazuo Ishiguro, E. M. Foster, Per Petterson sevenler bu kitabı da seveceklerdir bence.

Not: Kitabın 1981’de çevrilen bir televizyon dizisi uyarlaması ve 2008’de çekilen bir de filmi bulunmakta. Ayrıca şu an HBO için mini dizi olarak çekiliyor.
